April Goals

March was good. March was also weird due to a lot of dental work (for me), vet visits (for the cats) and the flu (for Molly). I accomplished a lot on my goals but was left feeling like I could have done more and like I did a lot. 

Here is how I did on my March Goals:

1. Workout 24 times in March - I did a crushing 27 workouts!
2. Finish Maggie’s 1 year book - Nope!
3. Work in Inbox Zero - I'm down to less than 200 emails!
4. Finish organizing the girl's memory boxes - DONE!
5. Finish the squares for my Miter Square Blanket - Nope!
6. Do Molly’s Year 2 Photo Book - Nope!
7. Crush 100 rides at City Cycle - DONE! I crushed this goal! 
8. Knit March's Accessory for Charity - I knit a cushy cowl
9. Read 125 pages of War & Peace - I got to page 70 so good?
10. Finish setting up basement - It's 95% done with the amazing help of my family!
11. Knit the Murnong hat #makenine - Done and if only it was cold enough to wear.

Monthly Goal Check-In (March)

Most of March felt like recovery from February. I tried to focus on my goals and made some good in-roads but I also felt a bit drained. I am proud of what I accomplished though and I did workout a lot which I am really enjoying right now. There was also a weekend spent in nature and while I'm not a fan of camping, I do think getting out into nature more often is good for my soul.

1. Workout 219 times in 2019 - I got in 27 awesome works which brings my total to 79

3. Obtain and keep Inbox Zero - I am down to less than 200 emails in my box. Many of them I need to print out for Maggie's memory box and archive them. I'm super pumped about this goal.
